Offset without a qualifier usually means time offset. (At least where I hang
out.)
Drift is frequency offset rather than time offset. It is usually expressed as
a (tiny) fraction rather than directly in Hz, typically PPM or PPT.
As Magnus points out, a frequency offset turns into a phase/time drift.
